Random scribblings from through out this year

I've been pretty bad at updating as a whole this year but I have been doing a fair bit of art so I'm going to try and post it all before the years out.

Here's the first lot!

  

I've been going to a lot of life drawing classes since moving to Bristol. Here's a few of the better sketches I've done over the last few months.

Roman Mask

I've been working on this one and off for a while now.
Not sure I'm happy with it still so I might end up going back to it. I was hoping to get it looking as photo realistic as possible which I've obviously not achieved.
I Painted the whole thing in Photoshop which I hate but I really need to get used to using it again.

Anyway its taken from a photo of a Roman mask discovered in the Netherlands.

Pavel the Crow

Here's another sculpt I did the other day.  I had some sculpey left over from the last project so I thought I'd see what I could do with it.
I'm going to try painting this one so I'll post some more photos when its finished.

Knotwood

I've been working on my portfolio the last few weeks and realised I hadn't got that much sculpting in it so I thought I better pull my finger out and get stuck in.

I've used a polymer clay called Studio by Sculpey which probably wasn't the best material to use but it seemed to work okay.

Still not sure whether to paint it or not so let me know what you think.

More life drawing

Just in case you didn't know this blog isn't dead, I've just been pretty terrible at updating this year. 

I moved to Bristol a few months ago now and its taken a while to get my scanner and computer up and running so I've got a lot to post over the next few days. 

I've been doing life drawing again recently so here's the first batch I did earlier in the year.

Hope you like it!
